First Japanese Owned Ramen Restauran in LEIDEN,
The Netherlands.
Why did we open our first restaurant here?
Because Leiden is a place with historical connections with Japan, and the people from Leiden have great interest in Japan, such as Japan Studies at Leiden University,Japan Festival,SieboldHuis etc.
We offer some of our service in Japanese towards our customers in order to recreate the same atmosphere as in Japan.
We also promote the Japanese language and culture to our customers.
On top of that, this creates a learning environment for our staff who do Japanese studies.
Our Big challenge!
At first, we had the problem that we couldn’t make the soup that we wanted, because we couldn’t get same ingredients as Japan here in the Netherlands.
It was a big challenge for us; using Dutch ingredients to make a real soup with the taste we’ve come to expect.
So we researched how to use Dutch ingredients to make a Real Ramen Soup.
We tried to find the right ingredients and right recipes for real ramen soup, again and again.
Finally, we found the right one!
We are very proud, if you could understand the taste of Japanese food by eating our ramen.
Secret of proud Soup!
We take our time boiling our broth for long hours to get all the delicious UMAMI from the ingredients.
Sparing no expense for making our broth, we use locally sourced highest quality pork, chicken, vegetables and some other ingredients in abundance.
We have made rich and intense broth full of nutrients and flavor.
The soup making is a time-consuming process, so there is a limit to the amount of ramen we can serve each day.
Please try our ramen full our pride and joy!
Taste & Homemade
“Serving good meals which we deeply believe in to our customers” is our policy.
We are trying to improve the taste our secret sauces and ramen everyday.
We also serve side dishes, and cha-shu (braised pork belly), kara-age(fried chicken), menma(seasoned bomboo) are all homemade with following our original recipe.
